I have an 11-year-old dog with worsening tracheal collapse, currently on hycodan and low-dose steroids. Anxiety is a major issue, and I've tried Valium and Xanax without success. My vet started trazodone today. How long should I wait for an effect, and can acepromazine be used with his hydrocodone?

My dachshund, Farmer, who is 12 years old, has swelling above and below his eye since Thursday afternoon. The swelling seems to itch and looks fluidy. I have tried Benadryl and other remedies for a bite, but they did not help. I also have clindamycin left from his tooth surgery. What could be causing the swelling and what should I do?

I was filling my husband's pill case and one of his 50 mg tablets of Trazodone fell on the floor. Our 20-pound Australian Terrier might have eaten it but I can't be sure. What will happen if he did?

If you were to hypothetically match an American Pit Bull Terrier with an English Mastiff, who would hypothetically have the upper hand? The APBT has incredible strength, agility, and tenacity, while the English Mastiff has incredible size and sheer body bulk.

My mom, who was a respected breeder, told me that salami is harmful for dogs due to its high fat content and can potentially shut down their kidneys if ingested in large amounts. I found my 3-year-old, 10 lb female poodle eating salami in the garage. Should I be concerned, and is there anything I should or shouldn't do?
